Summary

The Governor of Montana today signed a bill that would prohibit the sale or lease of state agricultural land, critical infrastructure and houses near military bases to foreign entities. It happens just months after a Chinese spy balloon flew over the state. The ban goes into effect later this year and applies to entities headquartered in China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia and Venezuela. FOX's Jessica Rosenthal speaks with Montana Governor Greg Gianforte about this new bill and other issues facing his state.
